By Dymag are targeting more momentous feats at the Classic TT Races, as this years meeting sees a group of anticipated Superbike race front runners using their proven wheels around the Mountain Course.
They include 13 times TT winner Michael Dunlop, who last evening upped the ante in the Superbike class, lapping at 122.650 mph.

Team Classic Suzuki team mate Danny Webb, Greenall Racing’s James Hillier and Horst Saiger all using Dymag wheels have shown thus far good pace in practice week.
Whilst for one of the firm pre race favourites Bruce Anstey, it was a tricky start to his Superbike Classic TT campaign last evening when he encountered problems on the Valvoline Racing by Padgetts Motorcycles YZR 500 Yamaha.
Bruce who is the fifth rider to be using Dymag Wheels this week and next Monday, completes a top class line up of competitors to be backed by the Chippenham based wheel manufacturer.
Aiming to secure another lock out of all podium positions, as secured in the 2015 Formula 1 classic encounter, Chief Executive of Dymag, Chris Shelley said:
“It’s very exciting for Dymag to have such a strong set of riders racing on our wheels and we wish all the riders good luck for this year’s Classic TT.
So far it’s been a fantastic year for Dymag at the Isle of Man TT, with Michael Dunlop creating history with the first sub-17 minute lap of the mountain course at an average lap record speed of 133.962 mph, to win the Senior and Superbike TT ‘big bike double’ on our wheels back in June.
We also had an historic 1-2-3 podium finish in the Classic TT in 2015, so it would be wonderful to maintain the run of success Dymag has enjoyed in the world’s most iconic road race.
It’s a really good time for Dymag at the moment as we are winning a reputation for not only excellent products, but backing up the Dymag teams with first class technical service support and fast deliveries in the BSB and Road Racing community.”
